Emotions cloud personal standing or reputation for some; avoid outbursts or stretching the truth too far - no one is really buying it. Some of this is driven by impatience and intolerance, testing authority. Control issues reach intense levels; think before reacting. A break for freedom will have its challenges. Listen to those who are wise with a good track record - follow their advice. Make balanced decisions by weighing the odds against the known and the unknown. Manage pressure bit by bit. Relationships may break by Saturday's full moon. Keep the peace or move. Arrests likely.
